Bagi saya kedai ni amat menarik. Mereka menyediakan pelbagai menu dan boleh memenuhi cita rasa setiap pelanggan. Ada menu nasi goreng, mee goreng, set nasi dan sup, western, bubur, char kuey teow, meet ball dan pelbagai lagi. Soal rasa? Tip top, memang SEDAP. Saya bawa parents makan di sini, orang tua saya kata kedai ni masak dengan ikhlas. Masakan sedap dan setiap menu di masak satu persatu. Sesetengah kedai, nasi goreng mereka dah masak banyak2 kemudian dihidang. Nasi sama rasa, lauk saja lain-lain. Di sini, anda boleh dengar chef menumbuk bahan2 sebelum memasak pesanan anda. Hasilnya masakan anda panas dan sedap. Saya dah siap makan, saya order satu lagi Nasi Goreng Kampung dia. Sedap! Soal harga bagi saya, masih berpatutan dan lebih kurang dengan kebanyakan kedai lain. Ini pendapat saya. Lain orang lain pandangan.

Already eaten here multiple times before. The restaurant was easy to find since the location was at the road side. The waiter was always quick to serve me their menu and take my order attentively. The foods were good. The Nasi Goreng Kampung was very flavorful. I really recommend anyone to give it a try. Although I hope the cook could add some anchovies in there and the rice portion was a bit small for my taste. Next up, the Nasi Goreng Kampung Ayam Kunyit was good. There was good balance in spicy and saltiness from tumeric powder they used for the chicken. But the price was a bit high (RM12.50 incl. Teh Ais) for me to order again. They also had Western Food options. I tried their Chicken Chop Fried Rice but it was dissapointing. The sauce tasted bland and generic similar to its fried rice. Couldn't really recommend it to anyone.
